Getting concerned

[Wombat]

What’s up like? It’s dry here...no rain all day

It’s been dry here until 15 mins ago but it hasn’t really dried or done anything today.

Yep, apart from a wee bit of sun first thing it's been a dead sort of day.

I think the yard was as wet at 3pm as it was at 9am

I supposing looking at the positives... if it does ever get dry enough to get going the moist soil isn't going to wear the plough points out very fast...

I was thinking that this afternoon. This field can normally be very abrasive on points. It’s called the gravel hole field and was ploughing quite nicely today, but it’s now raining quite hard on it. I’m gambling that it’ll dry up again .
if this field won’t drill, It really is game over for this year .

Making a nice job

Managing to keep going near Shrewsbury- dry this morning but heavy rain this afternoon- still quite literally right behind the plough but drilling nicely

I should’ve got someone else ploughing really, and hooked the drill on . Bit late getting going today .

I sincerely hope you are right.im getting a bit concerned about the amount of rain.most of my wheat is on heaviest land on farm and was ploughed early to weather.rest still to be ploughed and another bit ploughed ten days ago and was to drill the next day but I relied on weather forecast that was wrong.not had the best of harvest either and it does tend to get me down a bit.16mm in last 24 hours and still raining hard.

Only managing around 8kmh and was discussed whether to stop but every acre covered now is one less to do when it dries up. If it wasnt looking so tidy behind the drill we would pack in

6 months till end of drilling. What's the rush. Late drilled even to February always did us better than mauling it in now. Let the rubbish germinate, let the slugs and aphids starve. Wait, wait, wait. Let the pests burn themselves out. Bypass the big spends. Seedtime and harvest shall never fail.

If it does then we have nothing in this world to fear

Absolutely hosing it down and a "yellow weather" thing till midnight............and the central heating just kicked in, until I knocked it back a couple of degrees.... Mrs M has been fiddling!

Heard it`s supposed to improve in early/mid November. Hope it`s right. Drilled 100ac of WW last Thurs/Fri. Went in a treat. Busiest machine on farm is the digger. Shifting serious water

tipped out 6mm sat morning
6mm sunday morning
6mm this morning
I’m guessing that this afternoon and evening will give me best part of another 15 mm to tip out tomorrow morning ,

Reckon it’s gane over till Dec now and I do not like drilling in Dec , takes to long to come through , better of hoping for a frosty jan for a dry feb
